The difference (in pronunciation) between 'finger' and 'singer'

Hello, everyone!

singer sɪŋə(r)
finger fɪŋgə(r)

The words that end with '-nger' are really confusing to me.
'singer' is the only word that I know which has 'ŋə(r)' sound. (because of my poor knowledge...)Could you give me some other words with 'ŋə(r)' ?
Thank you in advance!

P.S. I should have posted this in the Phonetics section. (I thought I did..., I don't know what happened...)
I'm sorry...Please move this to the relevant section.
